Waiting for events

[leightur]

Ok this is a long shot but I am sure I am not the first!

I would like to send an email if the size of an exported PDF is > 20kb

I have two reports:

1. Exports the report to PDF to a default FTP folder.
2. Emails the PDF based on a event that waits for a PDF to arrive within a folder.

1. exports every 15 minutes, the report checks the FTP server for activity, the exported report blank is approx 20kb

If the report is > 20kb I would like a batch file or alternative that will monitor the size and if > 20kb move to the FTP drop folder to trigger the email in step 2 to be sent.

I will then run a script that will delete the file once the email has been sent.

Thanks in advance

You could do that in VB Script.

1. Schedule your report to destination

2. Using a schedule event then kick the VBS or whatever script which will check the size

3. The script could email the report (outside BO using objMessage.Send)

There is a great tool called Instance Analyser (

but it doesn't have that feature. They are working on a new release, maybe you can ask them if that can be added!
